I am looking to replace the tires on my E82, wheels are the stock 18" you get with the M Sport. The stock sizes are 215/40r18 front and 245/35r18 rear. 215 wide tires seem to have a pretty crappy selection in 18" so I was thinking about going with 225s in the front, but should I stick with 40 profile or go down to 35? I also need a recommendation for a good all season hi performance tire

e: after doing a bit of reading apparently everyone runs 225/40r18 front and 255/35r18 on the rears, I'll have to see what that does to the available selection

The problem in southern Kansas is the temperature swings 30-40f depending on which way the wind blows, so last week we had 2 inches of snow and a nice glazing of ice underneath but it was 70f on Christmas day. Makes it hell on a winter compound but we get just enough wintery precipitation that I don't know if I can get away with running summer tires.

I think I'm just going to go with the Pilot Sport A/S 3+

$1265 later and I have 4 new pilot sport a/s 3+ and an alignment, it was pouring so hard to judge the road noise but it did feel smoother and the wet grip certainly felt better
